The required equipment must be a brand new, latest model unit manufactured in the USA, mounted on a half-ton conventional cab gasoline-powered chassis, featuring a 2.5 to 3-yard hopper capacity with a dual-chamber pickup head of minimum 78-inch width, hydraulic power system with piston pump, and comprehensive safety equipment including rear-view camera system, LED lighting, and backup alarm.

Pricing must be all-inclusive of shipping, handling, and delivery to 640 Gulfstream Road, Savannah, Georgia 31408, remain firm for 90 days following the closing date, and reflect net 30 payment terms upon receipt and acceptance. All bids must be submitted through the Bonfire Hub platform at https://savannahairport.bonfirehom/, with vendors required to register prior to submission; the Savannah Airport Commission will evaluate responses between February 25 and April 16, 2026, with notification of award decisions expected no later than April 17, 2026. Required submissions include itemized pricing, estimated delivery timeframe, the Pricing Sheet, Specifications/Requirements Confirmation Form, Vendor Certification Form, Exceptions Sheet, Acknowledgement of Addenda Form, and four keys with FOBs, as well as complete operator's and parts manuals in paper and electronic formats, preventive maintenance schedules, and a commitment to provide manufacturer training courses at no additional charge.

The RFQ permits a Local Small Business/Minority Business designation for applicable respondents, though no specific set-asides or restrictions limiting competition are explicitly stated. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The Savannah Airport Commission is exempt from Georgia state sales tax and reserves the right to reject any or all bids, cancel purchase orders if delivery timeframes or specifications are not met, and award to the most responsible and responsive bidder at the lowest cost. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the solicitation materials; however, the all-inclusive pricing structure and firm 90-day price requirement suggest this is a capital equipment acquisition with competitive cost evaluation as the primary selection criterion.
